Cultural Diversity

Clifton School will promote awareness that reflects New Zealand’s cultural diversity and, in particular, the unique position of Māori as the tangata whenua.

This will be achieved through:

 Te Reo Māori and tikanga Māori being integrated into all curriculum areas where appropriate.

 Use local expertise to provide learning opportunities in Te Reo and tikanga Māori.

 Daily karakia, powhiri and welcomes, visits and visitors, cultural group visits and the school kapa haka performances which reflects our school's cultural make-up.

 Classroom programmes and experiences that encourage students to learn about their own heritage.

 Ensure that correct cultural protocol is taught and students are given regular opportunities to apply their knowledge through contact with our local Parewahawaha Marae and Ngati Apa iwi liaison and through our school powhiri and assemblies.

 Annual consultation with families ensures parental learning expectations are being met by the board with these responsibilities.

 Tolerance, understanding and respect of different cultures and values will be practised and expected in the school environment.

 Reporting to the Board of Trustees on student achievement, including Māori students’ achievement, where appropriate.

The Board, following consultation with the community, has approved the Charter.
